St Andrew's Road is one of the roads in downtown Singapore. It runs along the western side of the Padang. The road is lined with a number of historic buildings such as the Old Supreme Court Building and City Hall, both of which are today combined to house the National Gallery Singapore. It was named after the St Andrew's Cathedral which is located at the northern end of the road, at the junction with Stamford Road.
St Andrew's Road has been around since the 19th century. However it was known as Esplanade Road until 1907, when it was renamed to the present name. The area east of the road is still regarded as the Singapore Esplanade. This includes the Padang, the Esplanade Park and the recent developments such as the Theatres on the Bay and Esplanade Mall.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
